Review:
Though the sepia tint of the camera shots may annoy some viewers, I enjoyed Invincible for the feel-good, family sports film that it is. The hero is likeable and a classic underdog, which evokes sympathy from the audience. Although Invincible may not be the most original sports film on the block, it has all the components of a solid family film, including a tried-and-true plot and characters that are for the most part typical, but with just enough spunk and vivacity to surprise viewers every now and then. I wouldn't call it a must-see, but Invincible is worth your time as a fun, lively sports movie for the whole family.
For Parents:
Some thematic elements (main character works as bartender, living with girlfriend, some brief kissing), sports action and mild language.
My Rating:
****
